How to make a book with a book that is not a good idea for a book.

And I wish I'd had a resource like the one I'll tell you about today, a different kind

of book, the one that our featured side hustler makes and sells.

Now for myself, I never learned to be a real programmer, just to be clear, but even a

Welcome to SideHustle School.

My name is Chris Gillibow, and in this story, a wedding app founder exchanges side hustle

vows for a new coding book business.

Specifically, after running from tedious computer science lectures as an undergraduate,

a self-taught developer decides to help others learn through a series of friendly coding

tutorials, emphasis on that word, friendly.

Now a lot of people want to learn to code because they want to make their own app or do

basic web development or not be completely dependent on a specialist to be able to fix
